YOUTH - INTERVIEWS The national U21 plays agains Germany today. National coach Jacky Mathijssen has 12 players in his selection who were trained on Neerpede.

What Kindermans still has a hard time with is that the U21 of RSC Anderlecht have passed to play in 1B. "A decision that was made between pot and ping and under time pressure. My stomach still turns when I see the ridiculous criteria on which that decision was made. But we cannot change it now. And we will continue as we do, are and hopefully deliver many Devils in the future".
